McKee and Dan Tanner.

Tell me I'm wrong, Give.

Me, especially when you're in another two are out, you know.

Yeah, then we look real good, yeah, real good.

Well, Hi tit?

How you doing?

Man?

How buddy?

What's up you get?

Do you get a little shoveling in this morning?

No?

I don't do that.

You don't do that day.

There's a reason I got an hoa bro, I don't like I mean, you know what, I don't have any beef with my hay like a while.

Now I live in a town I was.

Brother, okay, okay, so no driveway in that though.

Well yeah a little driveway.

But they come and take care of I do that for you.

Yeah in the morning.

Yeah, I walk outside.

It's all clean.

Brother, Yeah, you're bad.

What about I mean, was that what you were doing this morning?

Yeah, I wasn't a big deal.

You know.

I a former life.

I used to have a huge driveway.

A current life, I got a I got a small driveway.

So you know, things change, you know, literally and figuratively.

Let me ask you what you do last night?

What were you locked into last night?

Tyler?

You know, I, uh, fortunately had a little butt kicking, you know, which was great, which was cool to see.

Uh, they're doing their deal.

And I was pretty dialed in on that football game, if I'm being honest.

Yeah, yeah, which I mean, I I got locked in on the abs, especially in that second period because I was just like, I was like, ah, because it was just an insane, insane period of hockey.

But I did lock into the fourth quarter of the CFP game, and dang man, that was a lot of fun.

I don't know what I don't No one should be complaining about these these playoffs.

That was a lot of fun.

And I'm assuming tonight with Oregon in Indiana, it's gonna get even naster.

It's gonna give it crazy.

Would you think about Carson Beck and that final drive and that touchdown and did you think that was Do you think they should have thrown the flag on ol missus final heat of the game.

Was it interference?

Yeah, yeah, of course it was.

Uh do I mind I listen, I uh, I might be in the minority on this one, but I don't mind end of situation games being refereed a little bit differently than the rest of the game.

Like kind of swallow the whistle, fight it out.

Like you do you really want to be the one that's deciding the game, you know, like it's got to be egregious type of.

Thing, right right, just grab pull down, you know, like we're.

All we're all fighting out there, right, so let's uh, if we're gonna throw a flag, let's make sure it's worth it.

So I actually didn't mind the no call on it.

Carson Beck was great.

Uh, that young gosh, I'm forgetten that that that freshman's that wide receiver from Miami, that dude circus.

Yeah, yeah, the dude year text line can't help us out take it?

Well, I can just look at the box score right now, Yeah, tell you.

Yeah, executol there's there's there was some pretty there was some pretty sexy NFL talent all over that field last night.

But tonight there's gonna be even more.

I mean, they're gonna be all over the place, all over the place tonight.

But I I kind of appreciate the way Old Miss almost said, you know, what the hell with you, Lane Kiffin.

We're gonna we're gonna you know what I mean, like, here we go.

You you left us, you ripped all these coaches away from us.

You're all in then, and and but we're gonna do it without you.

I kind of appreciate the way they handed.

I think I was rooting for Old Miss just for the Wlaane Kiffin drama.

Yeah, I was just rooting for that to keep going.

Yeah, those kids win the national Championship and they're up on the stage talk trash ball Lane on the way out the door.

Yeah you love it, man.

How about this?

So the the championship game is going to be held in Miami.

This year it's in my I mean, next year it's in Vegas, I think.

But this year that Bad Boys in Miami, so Miyamy can host a championship games.

It's at hard Rock.

They're playing the Champish game in a hard rock ye wild.

Yeah, so they'll basically be the home team whoever rolls in there Indiana or Oregon.

Yeah, it'll be.

Yeah.

You know what, I actually I forgot that the game was gonna be in Miami.

I didn't even think about that.

Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be in Miami.

Game here in five years because they're doing a rotating thing with like Vegas in Dallas and yeah and whatever in in l A or something like that, and then this year.

It's in Miami.

So good do you think?

I mean, are you?

Are you now a believer in Carson Beck?

I think Carson Beck proved a lot this year, so we're gonna see him.

You think he's gonna be an NFL baller?

You think he can play in the NFL.

I don't know, but he he answered a lot of critics this year, didn't he?

Yeah?

I mean I think he.

I think he's gonna have a fighting chance, just like the rest of these guys do.

I wouldn't.

I wouldn't go way too Dan.

Do you have any idea where he's projected to go Carson Beck?

Yeah, let me see if I can pull up a mock draft here because all the mocks I've seen round, I don't see him in the first round in all the mocks I've seen so far, right.

Correct, I would not take him in the first round.

Okay, but you think I mean yeah, because quarterbacks here, I mean.

I think everybody thought would he transferred, he was just gonna be a complete bust at Miami.

Me and me and Dan.

Spent a little bit of time this morning talking about the the redraft of last year, if you were gonna redraft it, because who what it was Bleacher report?

Right, Dan?

They did a redraft and we're like, well, first, I was like, do you think.

In the redraft they got the're going in the first round?

Because what they do have is Cleveland taking Cam in the second pick, right, and the number one pick.

They said, if they had to read do yeah, I.

Want to go wild here.

Okay, I want to say something crazy.

Go ahead, Tyler shuck.

Oh you're clothes bro, You're close.

They did, He's third, right, They moved him all the way up to the number three pick because how he played in New Orleans this year.

Okay, No, it was Jackson darts.

All right, Jackson dark fair enough, Yeah, that's fair enough.

I mean Tyler, Shuck, don't do that kid looked pretty good.

Yeah, yeah, I think that's why everyone was like, oh, man if he was on, because New Orleans is epically was epically truly bad this season, and then somehow Shuck got into the same win totals the Kansas City Chiefs.

Right, they both won six games?

Right?

Is that what it was?

So yeah, I mean yeah, New Orleans pulled that out of nowhere, and a lot of it has to do with with with Tyler.

So yeah, they they have.

Hey, where did they have our guy Travis Hunter going?

Oh you know what, we didn't?

Where did Travis go?

I don't even remember that one?

Oh it's right behind me?

And stupid five overall still went to Jacksonville.

Well, yeah, so they didn't.

They just had the Jacks not trading up, okay and just taking it.

Five and taking Travis.

Would you just take jackson Dart first overall in the Neither would I?

But but if being honest, man, I don't know who I would take number one in that class.

Well, people keep telling me that you take number one.

That's a good question, because cam Ward did not look good in his first year.

Yeah, but it's his first year.

It's not like Peyton Manning looked like Tyler?

Did you like what you saw from cam Ward this year?

I would take Jackson Dart ahead of cam Ward.

So maybe that means I would take Jackson Dart number one, But that's not like that's not a real feel good number one pick.

That's a good question.

Who would you have taken first overall?

Unless you's draft knowing what we know now?

Yeah, I mean what I know now?

I think who's the best overall player from this draft?

In you know, you know it might be who will Campbell?

The tackle that got drafted by New England.

Yeah, he's gonna win whatever the rookie Rookie Protector of the Year whatever they call that award.

Yeah, he went off at the Rookie of the Year.

He won't because he's not off to lineman.

Right, but I do yeah, I think they do have they have a protector.

Yeah, tet Man, Ted might go.

I might take Tent higher than six because that dude's a bad man, right, I would ask.

But so the question was is, since Cleveland already got their guy in this redraft, would Schedore get lucky?

Would Shadu go.

Later in the first and out.

Now they don't have Sugar in the first, they still won't have been the first.

No, no, they don't have him anywhere in the first.

So but yeah, I.

Mean it's an interesting like Colston going to hey, you know, speaking which where they have Tyler Warren?

Where did they have Tyler?

I didn't see his name?

Where Tyler Warren?

Gordon?

This one eight?

Okay, I might put see I put Tyler a little bit.

Both Ted and Tyler might be five guys.

I don't know if if you remember this, because I know you're usually sleeping during PhD.

I was real high on Colston Loveland.

That was my guy.

I said from day one.

Dan will remember it.

I said from day one Coltson.

If I could pick the first tid end in the draft, I would take Colson Lovelin.

And then the Bears took him super high.

What number was that, do you remember, Dana?

They took him for Tyler, right, They took him tenth, tenth, tenth, And when they took him tenth, I was like, well, I said that, but I didn't actually think anybody in the NFL was gonna agree with me.

Also, the Bears took him tenth and Colson Loveland looked legit this year.

I mean, so did Tyler Warren for the actor.

Yeah, I'd take out of one of those dudes, but Colson was my guy.

Let me ask you guys this, what do you think now that we've seen the regular season of the Broncos selection of Jade Baron?

What do you do you like the pick?

Or do you wish they would have gone a different direction?

Now?

I don't like to pick at all.

I didn't like to pick then, I don't like to pick now.

Jade Baron has just been He's been fine.

Yeah, you know, they utilize them.

He's been a part of the rotation.

He's been, he's been on the field, been far from an impact player.

And I'll ask you this, he's a number one pick.

Do you see him being a starter next year?

No?

Okay?

Do you like?

Like?

Okay?

So maybe at some point they decide they can't pay Riley boss uh and he leaves town.

But the point is he's a number one selection that by year two you still don't really see his role.

So uh, do I like that pick with our first overall?

No?

I don't.

Yeah, I I at the time, I liked going adding strength to strength where you knew your defense this season was going to be a monster, so just make it even a bigger, nastier monster.

So bring him in.

But I'm with you.

I think we were all pretty surprised at the draft when they went defense instead of instead of offense.

But would the offense?

How much better would the Broncos offense look right now if they would have drafted Colston or Tyler?

But they wouldn't have been See, they had the twentieth pick.

They couldn't have got either one of those guys unless they moved up.

Well, but you look at the guys that are blowing and the guys that they could have taken.

They could have taken to Marion Hampton, which apparently the Broncos weren't overly unterested him at all.

They could have taken Matthew Golden ends up going twenty three to Green Bay Packers.

Who else?

Anybody else that made sense?

Like, did o'maron have a better season?

I'm sure he did than than Argie.

I don't know, I don't know, like.

Was out for like eight weeks.

Yeah, but they got it.

He had a really good.

James average Carrie Well yeah, I don't know, man, I don't know.

I don't know who's better or who will be better next year, who will be the better player next year?

But yeah, that's interesting.

I think it's surprising that, like, the twenty fifth pick in the NFL draft is what, at least according to pleaech report, should have been the number one overall pick in the draft, and Jackson fell all the way to twenty five.

There for for for the New York Giants.

But let me say this, the New York Giants are acting like they have the best opening in football.

They're didn't like they're like there's pretending there a Cornerstone.

Franchise in the NFL, and that's not who the New York Giants are anymore.

They got the third pick this year, is that right?

Yeah?

Well I can tell you right now because I was just looking at a mock draft they have.

The guaranteed Yeah, I'm sure he is right.

They have the fifth pick, so they could get Cardinals.

Are They're gonna pick the best white receiver in the draft at number five?

Right?

That's who you're like?

All right, Jackson, let's get you a weapon.

The best wide receiver in the draft, is I don't know Tyson out of Arizona State, out of Ohio State, that's who is probably gonna be, right, Carnel Tate.

So yeah, there it is Vegas just sitting there with that number one pick, staring at Madonnalds.

I wonder if More goes off tonight and and Orging crushes Indiana.

I wonder if all of a sudden, Dante's the number one picking the draft instead of in dope.

But once again, that that comes down to personal preference.

When shot Carnel Tate going to the Giants of five?

Oh he does, see, yes, because he's probably the best wide receiver out there.

Or is it?

See there's Tyson right there, right below going to Cleveland.

You can catch the balls from she do her.

I don't even think look at all those Ohio State players in the top ten, Tyler, Yeah they're loaded.

Yeah.

I don't even think we're gonna necessarily has to beat Indiana and Dante Boris still might go number one.

Oh really, yeah, I guess yeah.

I wonder how once again, does it is it gonna come down to Tom Brady's Tom Brady gonna tell Davis like, Nope, it's Mendoza Nope, it's more like you think Tom's gonna make that decision.

All right, you know what, let's do this.

We gotta it's a it's a bud Light Football Friday.

Bud like the official beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos.

Remember to enjoy responsibly.

I have a question for Tyler and for Dan and for the text line the shout mons, the text line three or three five four nine two five, it's we're gonna have this conversation.

The last night.

Last night, the Colorado Avalanche, the Ottawa Senators were all in their feelings last night.

They came to town.

They thought they were gonna take out their frustration on what's going on with their franchise on the Avalanche.

And the Colorado Avalanche stomped those turkeys and Josh Manson went off.

And let me say this, Josh Manson is the dude with the bad buckle belt.

You know what I mean.

Josh Manson is a dog.

You do not mess with Josh Like, that's one of those dudes that you know in the league.

You do not matter.

He was a bad man.

So let me ask you this, Dan, who's the baddest.

Man on the planet that you know right now, Tyler, who's the baddest man you ever played for or with in the NFL?

And text line, who do you think the baddest man on the planet is?

Matter of fact from John ray Lewis is Slash was the goat.

I can't hate on Jake Paul for two seconds.

Just because he's making money.

Just figured out the cheat code of life.

Oh, Anthony Joshua?

How much?

How much would it take for you to take it?

Just a broken jab from Anthony Joshua?

But at the same time, you might have I mean, you might not able to think right the rest of your league, you know what, Like we don't know Paul's.

Break it would take for you to take a pun the least amount of money, let's start there.

The least amount of money I would take to get punched in the face by a professional fighter.

And but we're getting a lot of old school names, not a lot of.

New school names.

But here's why I want you to break down.

Yeah, what do you want me to bring?

Break down the tweet that you were just during the break Oh.

You want to get into the craziest steria that went on with Ottawa?

Yeah, listen, Yeah, that's what I want to get into.

Hey, you know what text line?

Were any of you aware what exactly all the drama that was going on with the Ottawa senators before their GM put out a statement last night, uh like excoriating the the the rumors out there, like I had no idea what those rumors were well, actually I didn't know what those rumors were, but most people didn't know what those rumors were before the team came out and said nothing to see here, move on, And then everyone's like, so, what's exactly going on?

Here's what?

You know?

What the rumor that the Ottawa Senators are trying to deny.

Here's the statement.

Here's the statement from the Ottaway They put this out an hour before puck drop with the Abs and the Autawoa Sinners were already in their feelings.

The Abs had lost two straight games.

You think they're gonna lose three in a row.

This was idiotic, but anyway, so the Sinators our organization is extremely disappointed to read the completely fabricated and faalse stories that are spreading around social media about our hockey club.

Linus is away from our team for personal reasons.

He has the entire organizations support.

The rumor is is that Linus was telling his significant other about all the crazy stuff that the team would do on road trips and all the people they were sleeping with, and the wives they were cheating on, the girls they.

Were cheating, and then lying teammates.

Yeah, so he's telling he's telling this girl about like, here's.

Your friends that you're like like that you care about, and here's their men and who they're out there sleeping with on the road.

Yeah, that's that was.

That was.

And then and then Linus allegedly had an affair and his girl found out and then she put everybody's business out in the streets.

Okay, so she.

You know, so like she went to the other Yeah, yeah, so that but that's I have no idea whether the rumor is true or not, but it was just I think it was just one person saying like it was just one account saying here's what's going on in Ottawa, and then the Sinner to come out with this massive like denial of it, which almost feels.

Like, yeah, like like why is the organization even getting involved in this stuff?

This made the problem worse?

This right here, this right here made the problem much worse.

Oh yeah, because I bet you there was people.

At ball Arena last night going, what, let me see what's going on with Ottawa?

And then there's suddenly good deep diving deep into these crazy rumors about But listen, man, what's what I am as even as a member of the media, I'm more than fine that what what happens locker room stays in the locker room.

I don't want to know this stuff.

I don't care about this stuff.

I don't want to know about it.

Like if this is if this is true, I don't care, except if it's my team and it and it destroys the dressing room, which it seems like it might.

Well, you know, if somebody starts, I mean listen on your wife, Like that's like you're you're you're putting your own You're putting your own marriage at rest, right, that's on you.

That's on you.

Yet at the same time, you probably the bro code people don't necessarily view it that way when somebody else snitches on him, Like, but that's on you, Like that's your responsibility.

You did that.

Yeah, but I'm I'm blaming you know what I mean, Like it like yeah, but at first, I'm just angry at my teammates for putting me in that position as well.

Right, but nobody knows if this is true or not.

Nobody knows.

I mean, the senators are saying it's not, and the internet's like, yeah, there's but I will say this, you can't tell me the autile centers were in their own heads, and we're in their own emotions last night when they took that ice against Colorado.

Man, you can't tell me that.

Yeah, they were feeling things last night.

So I don't know.

I don't know what's going on.

So who knows.

Remember when Dalante West allegedly slept with lebron'ze bomb?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, Delante West was crazy man, But yes, that was it that I mean, was did we ever substantiate that rumor?

Is that just one of those things that just people think happened that we're just not sure about.

I don't know.

But Delante and Lebron's bomb.

Dude's literally on the streets.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think he's homeless.

Right, yeah, not good.

Well remember when he got pulled out.

Are you am I the only one that still feels like confused on what day of the week.

It is, like I'm still on holiday time.

Yeah, yeah, I'm like you, man, Like yesterday was Friday, the day before was Friday.

Like I can't figure out where I am in time and space at this current moment.

I mean, everybody here at the station keeps treating like we're in the middle of the holidays.

Ever, everybody's gone.

Everybody, nobody's here, man, They're all gone.

Although I think it's because people.

I'm getting scared that somebody's gonna get me sick.

Everybody at the station is sick, Tyler.

I think.

So there's I guess there's a crazy flu going on right now.

Man.

It would appear that we got a couple down for the count at the station with it, which is not good.

Not good, man, not good at all.

I think one of them was speaking into this microphone that I'm speaking into.

Oh no, well, listen, man, Hopefully we take some echination, Well you take drink a lot of orange juice or something.

Do you get the flu shot?

I'm not doing like a political figure kind of thing.

Yes, my doctor usually every year, but I can't remember if I'm not.

You have an opponent since this summer.

So now I don't think I have a flu shot.

This is not an anti flu shot.

Take here.

This is not what that is.

Yeah, this is just like I haven't done it in like five years.

Yeah, I don't think I did it this year.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have not done it, and this year, with what's going on out there, it's it too late.

Should I still go get one of those things?

What is this?

Dan?

How come you come up with this information so quickly?

What is this?

This is one of the worst flu seasons in Colorado history and a half.

Times worse for the internet.

Oh, we all getting sick.

We're all getting sick.

Baby, It's gonna be great, Yike.

Dan Tanner's just be doing six hours of radio by himself.

All right, you know what, I want to dive into these.

NFL playoff games coming up this weekend before we do that, though, It's like candy Live.

Well and someone says that their family has twenty six people.

They had twenty six people who go down with the flu after somebody brought it to Christmas dinner.

How big is your family, right, I got I got a big I got a big family.

Like we got fourteen grandkids in my family.

That's a big family, you know.

Really yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like it's a big family.

But I mean, twenty six people went with it.

That's a lot of people to get together for Christmas.

Man, that's a whole lot of people.

I can't remember the last time I was around twenty six people that I knew personally.

Yeah, I can't.

That's just not the way things brow before you get into the NFL playoff games, which are gonna be fun.

Matter of fact, I have some news for Tyler about what we talked yesterday that you know in the AFC.

Depending on what happens this weekend, both Sean McDermott and Mike Tomlin might lose their jobs.

But I had no idea that there is one other We could have eleven teams looking for a new head coach we've talked about right now, right and the Steelers could lose their head coach and the Bills could lose their head coach to put us at ten.

I cannot believe the other one who it's the Green Bay Packers and Matt Lafleur.

No, I don't buy that.

I didn't either, but you know what's going on there.

No, but whatever it is, I don't buy it.

It's money.

But unless you're gonna bring up another senator situation where somebody's talking about something some money.

I didn't realize that this is a big story in Green Bay.

I didn't realize this.

They're gonna have to pay Guten Coots and they got to pay Matt Lafleur.

And I don't know if Green Bay is gonna hand Matt Lafleur fifteen million dollars a year.

Matt Lafleur wants fifteen to twenty million dollars.

He wants to be paid like one of the top three coaches in the NFL.

So you're saying his contract inspires at the in the season.

No, I'm saying I think his contract expires at the end of next season.

They have to redo it.

And he's like that no matter what he wants money, green Bay doesn't want to pay him that money.

They might move on from him.

With all the coaching candidates that are available right now, I know, I know I wouldn't get rid of Matt Lafleur either, But is mattl Would you give Matt Lafleur the Sean Paytonne, Would you give him eighteen million dollars a.

Year to coach your team?

Yeah?

Yeah, But does green Bay want to do that?

They Don't's when's what's the most green Bay's ever paid a coach?

Why would they le Why would they not want to do it?

I mean, that's my question.

I don't know.

I don't know, because then maybe maybe they get a harball, maybe they get a well.

I do think that there's probably there could be one more wild card out there, just depending on while if Harbaugh is like, yeah, I want to coach the Packers, Yes, I want to coach the Bills, you know, whatever it might be, there could be another wild card out there.

But outside of like specifically we want John Harbaugh.

I do not see Matt Leafloor being fired.

So you don't think there is any amount of money that he can ask for that they won't give it to him, because I think there is.

I think they're already at the limit.

I think They're like, no, we're not being a head coach.

Fifteen million dollars a year.

Okay, but let's be clear, right they If you're saying he's under contract for one more season.

Well let me check it, make sure.

But yeah, well almost.

All operated to that assumption until you correct me.

Uh, he's under contract, you got it?

Yeah, well here, Ai says.

Battle of Flour's contract with the Green Bay Packers is a key topic, as he's heading in the final years deal after a twenty twenty two extension.

Uh.

Specifics are public, but he reportedly earns around five million dollars a year, but he faces negotiations in which he wants a significant raise into the twelve to fifteen plus million dollars a year due to rising coaching salaries.

The Packers wanted to keep him, but needing to meet the market value to avoid him potitionally leaving.

So the pat if they got him at five million dollars a year, that's the steal of a.

Hell chi that's hella, hella head cheek, like that NFL coach.

That's offensively low.

Like the only one who's.

Making less than that is like shot Niber or somebody, right, I mean that's a low number.

For ay, that's crazy low, especially in this league where you can pay coaches whatever the heck you want to.

But once again, see it's it's not my money.

I pay Matt lafluor twenty million dollars a year if you want it, it's not my money.

But green Bay is like.

Do are we gonna give guten Coots twelve million dollars a year and then have to pay Lafloor sixteen million dollars?

I don't know, man, that's the conversation they're having in Green Bay right now.

Yeah.

See the problem for playoff teams though, you just get behind the eight ball.

So especially if you win a game, now you're you're two full weeks behind eight ball.

Other teams have got the interview process going, other teams have hired coaches.

You're getting the leftovers.

Uh, it's hard to it's hard to fire coaches that are in the play for a million different reasons.

Right right, If if all that plays out this week, him, if Tomlin gets got because the Texans role and mcdermom gets got because the Jags roll.

I think Tomlin's gone.

I do you think he's gonna go somewhere?

Else, or he's gonna do the TV thing.

I just think that time has come to deend.

So whether that means he's getting fired, he walks whatever, just.

Like hardball, where it's just like this is the end of the row.

Yep, yep, there's nowhere else for this road to go.

They are done, right.

So honestly, if I'm Pittsburgh, even if you found a way to win the first round, I'm still still moving on.

I'm done.

I'm done.

We've been down this road long enough.

Man.

Well that means so then what is the best available job opening.

Let's say let's even say that the Packers are like, all right, we're not paying lafleur seventy billion dollars, so he's gone to So the Steelers job is now open, the Bill's job is now open, and the Packers' job is now open.

Is it still the Buffalo Bills is the most sexy opening just because of or I mean, Jordan.

If Buffalo is open, uh, if Buffalo is open, in order, the most attractive jobs would be Buffalo Bills, probably Baltimore Ravens, the Green Bay Packers.

Okay, all right, yeah, I'll take that.

I'll take that's probably right, that's probably right, because all three of those have great quarterback.

All like, all those jobs have a quarterback that you can rely on and trust and love and all that, even with Jordan, Like, right, we all think Jordan Love is a great quarterback, even though it's somebody's Yeah, yeah, I think he's a great quarterback too.

I take him any day.

But yeah, I'm somebody's gonna get that.

Somebody's gonna get that Bills job.

Unless we're just speculating because I think Buffalo's gonna beat Jacksonville.

I'm not one of those guys who's pro.

I don't think the Jags are gonna roll into Buffalo and beat the Bills.

Is that game?

To When is when is the Bills game?

It's Sunday?

Is it the early game on Sunday?

Yeah, Bill's Jags is the ten thirty game on Sunday, So that one's gonna have a lot to juice.

It's in Jacksonville, by the way, Oh it's in Jacksonville.

Wait wait, you're right, you're right.

You're right.

My bad, My bad, because Jacksonville won the division so they get to host.

I forgot about that.

You're right.

So the Bill's at the.

Jags ten thirty Sunday morning, which is I don't know, man, I have no feeling for that game at all.

Like Trevor Lawrence is playing the best football of his career.

I think the Jacks are gonna win, do you really?

I do.

I'm rooting for the Bills to win because it sounds crazy, but of the teams that the Broncos could realistically play, So here's the teams the Broncos could realistically play.

Yeah, they could play the Texans.

Yeah, they could play the Bills.

They could play the Jags.

Maybe the Chargers.

Yeah.

I don't think the Chargers are gonna win though, So let's take the well, I guess let's just leave those all on the table.

You've got the Texans, you got the Bills, you got the Jags, you got the Chargers.

Here's the teams I don't want to play.

I do not want to play the Jags, do not want to play the Chargers.

Now that leaves me with Buffalo and the Texans.

Man, I'd probably be opposite of that from.

You, I think exactly.

I think the team that I prefer to play, as crazy as this sounds, is the Buffalo Bills.

They got no defense.

They're hot and cold.

Yeah, but okay, I get exactly what you're saying.

I'm hearing you.

But one, you're facing probably the best quarterback in these playoffs, right, You're gonna face the best quarterback.

And you could stop your argument right there and say you're stupid, you don't want to play Josh Allen, and I would have a hard argument against it, seriously, like that's a fair argument.

So you're telling me you want to play Josh Allen Tyler, that sounds like a bad idea, and I'd be like, you know what, that does.

Kind of sound like why what is it?

What is it?

You?

Just because the defense isn't as good as these other teams, like the Texans defense have just.

Looked bad at times this year.

Jacksonville has peaked at the right time.

I mean, they are hot as hell.

Chargers are a bad match up for the Broncos, and and then it just comes down to the Texans or the Bills.

This is gonna sound crazy to you, probably, but you know.

What, we can't even play Jacksonville, thank you.

I did that yesterday because then the number three seed and they they're the number three.

Yeah, so Jacksonville is not even on the Yeah, so my bad, my bad.

If the Buffalo Bill listen, how let me let me say it by let me say it like this, Josh Allen seems like the number one problem for the Broncos defense in these playoffs.

You know what I'm saying.

If like I'm looking at the Denver Broncos and I'm like, what's the strength of the Dinverer Broncos?

And it's that defense, It's that nasty defense.

And now I'm looking like, is there any team in this side of the bracket, on the a FC side that uh that that could do damage to the Broncos defense, And Josh Allenson and the Bills of that one team that scares me the most, you know what I mean.

Josh Allen's one of those dudes, like he doesn't have to be like all right, Patrick's tutan fine, you stay over there, and I'm just gonna keep throwing these balls to the middle of the feet.

And what make these Broncos linebackers work Because I'm just gonna keep hitting my tight ends and my running backs and I don't care what, you know what I mean, Like they don't have Justin Jefferson is not on the Buffalo Bills.

You can't put Patrick Sutan on that one, dude and basically shut down the Bills passing off.

Okay, so let me cracked myself on something here because I said, Jacksonville, the other team that you could play is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

That is a realistic option if the Steelers were to win, uh and and if of of those teams that are available, of course I would choose to play the Steelers.

Of course, that would be the team I prefer to play.

M hm, cause Aaron Rodgers is gonna get murdered by that pass rush.

Yeah, I mean whatever.

I mean, they're just they're they're just ugh, They're just they're like they're they're good enough.

Aaron Rodgers is capable of hurting you.

But you know, we got a pretty good pass rush that is gonna get after that.

Old man.

I am scared that the Broncos offense isn't gonna get me the points that I need unless the defense has you know, just this stellar game, you know what I mean, Like, is there a point total you think the Broncos offense can't get to against one of these teams?

Like I meant, anybody, man, that's.

Tough because the ESPN predicted that the Bills would come into Denver and beat the Broncos twenty seven to seventeen in that second round, And I was like, can the Broncos score twenty seven points at home against the Buffalo Bills and the Bills come in and put twenty seven on the defense.

It's very unlikely.

So what I mean, see, once again we're talking in hypotheticals what I don't like to do.

But what does that mean for the Broncos if, just like last season, they play their first playoff game of the year and lose, like you just I mean, how do we handle that as a fan base.

It's crazy to say this because if you would have told me at the beginning of the year that we got the number one seed, I'd be like, hell, yeah, like let's go.

But expectations change.

You get the number one seed, you know what my.

Expectation is, win the whole damn thing.

Well, yeah, at least make it to the Super Bowl.

Yeah, I mean, because you only got to win too, and you get the worst opponent in theory that's left in your first game of the of the playoffs, Like the path has been cleared.

So if you lose that first game, dude, I would call it a failure of a season.

You did all that, you did, all that you want to fourteen games.

I know you've got the number one seed and you lost your first playoff game.

That would be a failure.

I get it.

But it's also a failure of how we watch sports nowadays.

You know what I mean, Like if you if we are so Talladega Knights, if you ain't first your last, you know what I mean like if you don't you The Broncos just had one of their greatest regular seasons ever ever, and if they lose in the second round of the NFL Playoffs in their first game of the season, we're all gonna We're not gonna, man, I don't know.

I don't know, but.

It's the I know how I feel.

I feel, I understand how I feel.

But I think it's the wrong way to look at how the Broncos are handling their business.

There.

They they're not supposed to be here.

They're way ahead of schedule, Am I right or my wrong?

They're way ahead of schedule where we thought they were gonna be.

Like with the ownership group and they and who they brought in and what Sean Payton has done.

True, they're a year or two ahead of schedule where they should be.

Fact.

That's that's a fact.

You're right, true, But expectations change.

Yeah, and I yeah, it's tough.

It's tough out there in the NFL, right, Like I think people would have been happy if they would have won ten games and squeaked into the playoffs or whatever.

But now you got fourteen.

That means you have to win a Super Bowl.

We're all gonna be disappointed in you, I don't know, or you win, you know.

Yeah, let's I say this.

I could live with losing the AFC Championship game.

I cannot live with losing our first game of the playoffs.

Wow.

Okay, well we'll see because they're I mean, a good football team's coming in here no matter what, no matter what happened.
